Makeup Artist Series - Tips for Blotting Sheets & a Tatcha Giveaway!

I'm back with another review and giveaway! For my channel, I like to help out my fellow makeup artists and share with them tricks I've learned along the way. I've continued my Makeup Artist Artist series with this post and video on tips for using blotting sheets in ways you might not have thought of. Make sure to read the whole post because I'm also giving away three packs of some of my favorite blotting sheets!

I actually already reviewed the Tatcha Blotting sheets that I used in the video here. Here is the gorgeous set of blotting sheets they sent me.

The packs are huge! 3.74in x 3.74in make them big enough to cover the entire face. These papers have no extra powder residue on them and are made from the abaca leaf - there is no pump to irritate skin. The paper is also structured with lattice lines which makes them extra strong so that they don't tear. The gold leaf infused in them are an ancient beauty trick of the Geisha.

Before

After

We all know that blotting sheets are great for touching up shine throughout the day. Throw them in your purse and you're good to go. In the video, I told you some different ways to use. Here are a few of my tips:

When applying moisturizer to yourself or a client, use a blotting sheet right after to absorb excess product. This cuts down the drying time and let's you jump right to foundation with soft, moisturized skin.

Put a few sheets in your bride's touch-up kit. Good makeup should last but it's normal to blot the shine.

Use for touch-up on a photo shoot. You don't have to worry about carrying around extra powder in multiple shades and dirtying up your brushes. These papers are colorless and do the job.

Give these as a gift to a bride! Unlike a lot of regular blotting sheets, they're packaged so beautifully and the gold leaf really makes them look like a luxury product. They have a beautiful bridal kit with 4 packs tied with a special something blue ribbon. One for the bride and some for the bridesmaids :)

You can find these luxury blotting sheets at www.tatcha.com. They retail for $12 for one pack and $40 for a four pack.

I would love to try out this blotting paper because I personally have an oily t-zone and use blotting paper often. I am also just starting out as a MUA and would love to add these fancy papers to my kit!Thanks!

I've been using blotting sheets for ages but I usually buy the CVS brand & they're a lot smaller than those. It takes me forever to blot my entire face because it's so small, I would love to win these just because I use them practically on an everyday basis

I would love to have these blotting sheets.I have oily skin and I also hav lots of pimples so I already feel very conscious abt my face.with oil control under control I'll feel much better and less conscious of my face and they seem vry high quality so I wnt fear of getting more pimples

i would love to win this so i can blot my face on the go without having to apply more powder cos more powder eventually gives my face a very heavy look which makes it look and feel artificial.they would be really convenient

i would love to win these because i really need these and i really dont like applying powder during the day cuz it makes my face feel heavier. also i think its so cool that its based off of geishas. :)

I have very oily skin. I always bring a pack of blotting paper with me wherever I go. I have to use a lot plus the blotting paper easily breaks. I would really love to try this brand! Plus, the packaging is very pretty!

I would love to win these blotting sheets and see if they are worth the price. What I do love about these is there size. Normally, I use end wraps from Sally's beauty because you get 1000 sheets for a couple of dollars. They are what you would use with curlers. I keep them everywhere including my purse, car and office desk.

I love using blotting sheets :D they are so helpful! i would love to win this tatcha blotting sheets because I want to see how well they work compare to other blotting sheets I've tried. :) thanks for the giveaway
